I'm forwarding this mail because I don't see it in the archive at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/. (bug-glibc@gnu.org is the right address for this archive, right?) --david

- Subject: RE: [Linux-ia64] IA64 strncpy in 2.2.4-30 - bug and patch
We found more bugs in the code, and here is an updated patch to fix them. Note this patch supercedes the one I sent yesterday. Also attached is the test program we used to verify the fix. - Ken Chen -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Kenneth W Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 6:57 PM To: Chen, Kenneth W; Reese Faucette; bug-glibc@gnu.org; linux-ia64@linuxia64.org Cc: Akyil, Levent; susan@myri.com; Mallick, Asit K Subject: RE: [Linux-ia64] IA64 strncpy in 2.2.4-30 - bug and patch Here is a patch that fixes bugs in strncpy function included in glibc-2.2.4.

The bug report contains a testcase illustrating the problem, and also a patch. In short, the recovery code is busted, even after the patch from David Mosberger. Attached is a copy of the patch from the bug report. I have a testcase which exercizes both the recovery3 and recovery4 paths if you're interested.
